Shauna Singh Baldwin's new novel, "The Selector of Souls", is set in India, where millions of girls go missing every year -- and millions of female fetuses are aborted before they're even born.
These grim statistics are the starting point for Ms. Baldwin's book -- which also deals with institutionalized sexism and misogyny -- and in particular, the struggles of two women -- one a member of the lower caste, the other of a higher caste.
